When considering infrastructure in SA, we have a relatively well-developed and mapped-out system of roads, bridges, harbours and physical infrastructure, with recent promises of further development and improvements on the cards for 2025.
While the last Infrastructure Report Card (IRC) by the South African Institution of Civil Engineering (SAICE) in 2022 showed that we had much work to do in terms of maintenance in various sectors with our D-rating, the rating for national roads, harbours and airports were rated B as satisfactory and “fit for future”.
